Street Fighter Alpha 3 (DC)

The Street Fighter games have been very popular ever since they were first made back when the Snes was the coolest thing to have. It is nice to know that Street Fighter Alpha 3 sticks to the same routes as the original with many new and improved features. One of the biggest differences is the amount of characters in the game. There are some 50+ characters and in some way you seemed spoiled for choice. These characters are basically all of the characters from the original and the sequels. All the characters have been put into this game and they are unique and have there own trademarks and special moves. The graphics have not changed from the old 2D style ...  Read the complete review

After it proved a success on the PlayStation, Capcom further cemented their backing of Sega's Dreamcast console as the premier outlet for fighting games with a port of Streetfighter Alpha 3. Like all the Streetfighter games before it(except horrid NES title 2010), Alpha 3 is a 2D one-on-one fighter where the basic idea is to defeat your opponent in two rounds out of three in martial arts combat. You do this by emptying their energy bar, which is done by performing throws, punches,kicks,special moves and super moves. Where Alpha 3 decided it was going to stand out from the pack of 2D fighters on the console, was the sheer number of gameplay options and ...  Read the complete review

Yet ANOTHER 2D game for the Dreamcast - well - another 2D fighting game - and that's no bad thing - the Dreamcast has now been crowned home of the beat 'em ups- fight 'em ups - and deserves this credit - as there are literally dozens of these types of games - thanks mainly to the Japanese people CAPCOM. I think that this is possibly as good as Marvel vs Capcom 2 - but there are not as many fighters. Still, it's worth a look! There is tons of gameplay to be had out of this game, so get it now! The game is a 2D fighting game which is incredibly smooth and fast paced. You can select from around 33 characters from all over the planet and you must aim for ...  Read the complete review

This is a timeless fighting classic that has provoked a million clones. You don't have to go far in the gaming world to find Streetfighter games, it's reached cult status - at least three new Streetfighter titles are released each year but all of them do not have the originality and authenticity as this. This is the game where it all began - revolutionary graphics, stunning gameplay, more characters than you can shake a stick at and brilliant spacial moves. Everything is here! Plus some cheats that aren't available on the console versions. It's a great, fast paced game that will keep you hooked for ages - I bought it a year ago and I'm still ...  Read the complete review

Are sequels ever any more than low quality money-spinners? Films are burdened by the need for originality. So should games be. Unfortunately, programmers making sequels rarely bother. Of course, film studios don’t as a matter of course produce six versions of the same film – whereas in the computer world every beat ‘em up must still involve a set scene with characters kicking the crap out of one another. Street Fighter III comes back with the classic format that the game as good as invented: horizontally scrollable scenery with two people inducted into the near magical world of ‘we wish’ kung fu skills having cracks at reducing ...  Read the complete review
